Memorial Stadium

NORMAN, Okla. -- University of Oklahoma President David L. Boren released this information following the OU-Kansas State game on Saturday night:

"We are apparently dealing with an individual suicide which is under full investigation," said Boren. "At no time was anyone in the stadium in danger. Law enforcement officials and bomb experts on site were activated in the area immediately.

"As soon as the area was secured and the area was sealed, President Boren ordered a thorough search of the garage area near the stadium by the trained bomb dog team. Further search of the lower levels outside the stadium and a thorough sweep was ordered by President Boren.

"Prior to the game, the entire stadium was swept by the expert bomb teams with the help of dogs. Passouts were suspended during halftime for security reasons in order to enhance safety for the fans. A second device which was found during the initial search has been detonated."

President Boren, who is convalescing, has been in continuous phone contact with law enforcement personnel throughout this period.
